Unmukt Chand looks at his stumps after being bowled in the under-19′s Cricket World Cup last year in Australia.

India’s under-23 cricket team won the Asian Cricket Council Emerging Teams Cup in Singapore on Sunday, thrashing Pakistan by nine wickets in the final, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said.

After winning the toss and choosing to bat, Pakistan’s under-23 team was skittled out for 159 in 47 overs. Baba Aparajith was the pick of the bowlers, taking three wickets for 28 runs, but India’s opening batsman Lokesh Rahul was awarded man-of-the-match for his 93 not out as India chased down Pakistan’s total in 33.4 overs.

The BCCI, describing Rahul’s form as dazzling, said the 21-year-old’s 132-run partnership with Manpreet Juneja, played an anchor role at number three and won the match.

Pakistan only claimed the wicket of Rahul’s fellow opener, Unmukt Chand, who was caught behind for 15 off the bowling of Raza Hasan. Chand is the biggest star in the under-23 team, but he was out of touch during this tournament in Singapore, the BCCI said.
